I entirely agree.

Wouldn't it be nice if it all lined up and being aligned with soul's purpose was a guarantee of financial stability? Although if I think about it, maybe not.

I've learned more in my life about who I am and why I am here through having to balance, and make really difficult, and sometimes painful choices between what's paying the bills and what feels true in my bones.

I've often experienced stepping more deeply into purpose to be like stepping into the fire of a crucible that burns away what I thought I was... the shells I've become attached to... that inevitably become too small.

Has it made me rich? Not financially anyway...

Has it sustained me? More than any other form of nourishment every could.

Concisely and powerfully written!

I have found both my maternity leaves very powerful in terms of making space for me to step outside of my "work" and reconsider my values and inner purpose. I had a similar experience recently when I had a surprise reduction in work and was happy to find more energy, time, and space to bring forth some offerings that I didn't have the energy for otherwise.

You have many excellently chosen words here and I hope many people find this to read.
